If you’re reading these pages, odds are good that you’ve worked with I²C devices before. You might even be the proud owner of a couple dozen sensors pre-loaded on breakout boards, ready for ...
A few weeks back, we talked about the no-nos of running I²C over long wires. For prototyping? Yes! But for a bulletproof production environment, this practice just won’t make the cut. This month I ...
This application note discusses the need for care when reading multibyte data over the I²C-compatible interface. Pitfalls of reading one byte at a time are discussed, with some concrete examples. The ...
This application note explains how to use an I²C I/O extender to connect a compact-flash (CF) card to the I²C interface of a microcontroller. The software commands for reading and writing data are ...
The SFH 5712, a low-voltage digital ambient light sensor, employs an I2C interface and is capable of detecting ambient brightness in the same manner as the human eye.
Linear Technology Corp. recently introduced the LTC4316/LTC4317/LTC4318 family of I²C/SMBus address translators that enable multiple slaves with identical addresses, such as temperature sensors, to ...
